Neverwinter Campaign

Sorannis Shadowleaf (Jonathan)

An experienced member of the army of Returned Iliyanbruen, who has recently found himself cut off from previous political influences. Being only a couple centuries old, his outlook on things is privately very youthful and full of hope.

Bio:

Sorannis, who goes by, “Ser,” for short, is about 200 years old, which is roughly a quarter of his expected lifespan. In his culture, he’s treated like a 24 or 25 year-old human would be. He’s served as a feyknight for over 150 years, so he’s seen a few things. One thing he hasn’t seen, however, is the mortal realm, so most everything in Neverwinter is new to him.

He’s quiet and contemplative; if he doesn’t have anything to say, he says nothing. Since he finds himself in a new environment and is a bit out of his element, Ser is trying to take his time figuring out the way this world works, before taking a position on anything. This is, in fact, why he favored a less violent approach to reclaiming Iliyanbruen treasures, since it would give more time to learn about the ‘mortals’ and whether or not they truly deserved the wrath of the Feywild.

Despite outward appearances, Ser rather enjoys being around bouncy, youthful people. Mischievousness was not a luxury he was afforded while in the Feywild, as the Winter Court’s constant attacks forced everyone to grow up quickly. As such, though he maintains a constant posture of silent annoyance while dealing with his loud, slightly disrespectful companions, such as Kerith or Sonja, Sorannis admires the very fact that they can be the way they are with just a hint of jealousy, and he makes little effort to dissuade their behavior.

Recently, Ser’s exploits in the mortal realm have reminded him of what he lost in leaving his arcane-infused homeland. Almost instinctively, like a blind man retrains his brain to perceive sound and smell better, the moon elf has developed heightened magical abilities. Now, though he always used a little bit of fey-magic to boost his combat prowess, his magical strength has blossomed immensely! Every swing of his sword is backed by ancient elven spells, and when the chips are down, he is even able to create an arcane ward around himself to deflect attacks.
